It took 1 hour of air before the layers of floral accented, luscious, silky plums, licorice, cocoa, and blue fruits were in full force and hitting their stride. The wine is powerful, elegant, fresh, opulent and silky. This is fabulous now, but either wait a bit, or give it an hour of air, and it is really going to sing. Drink from 2023-2045.

Flowers, cherries, chocolate, mint, licorice, smoke, and spice blend together to create the nose. Equally concentrated and fresh, with lift, salty, crushed stones, red plums, cherries, cocoa, and a touch of herbs, there is length, purity, and a solid oceanic influence on the palate that you find carries through to the energetic, creamy, cherry, chocolate and creme de cassis loaded finish. This is really showing well today. Drink from 2023-2035.

Inky, black in color. Licorice, truffles, minerals and gobs of ripe, opulent, rich black fruit make the perfume. Ample structure, concentration and ripe tannins will allow this to age and evolve for decades.

When to Drink Chateau Pavie Macquin, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Pavie Macquin is much better with at least 10-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more.

This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Pavie Macquin offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Pavie Macquin with Wine and Food Pairings

Chateau Pavie Macquin is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Pavie Macquin is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Pavie Macquin is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
